Two Southern Railway FP7A's power the southbound "Piedmont" at Salisbury, NC. The late afternoon sun weakly illuminates the little passenger train. It will be after midnight and well after dark when the train arrives in its destination of Atlanta, GA.
A colorful and diverse group of railroads operated passenger trains in the South that ranged from speedy limiteds like the Panama Limited and Silver Meteor to regional and branchline services.
